Not too bad for 36 Hershey bars and 4 bottles of Excedrin!

Axe Hair Gel and $1.00 coupon hanging from my door!

Nice, random surprise hanging from my door when I got home! 2 samples of Axe hairgel and a $1.00 off coupon! The bag said Redplum, and Redplum is delivered by the USPS on Tuesday, so I guess the mailman put it there? If he did that at all the houses I bet he had a very long day...

(Sorry the picture is sideways!)

Food Town - 16 Toilet Paper Rolls for $2.20!

I love Food Town. I view their ad online and price match their great sales prices at Walmart. This week they had Marcal small steps toilet paper 4 packs for only $.55. This is a great price at only $.14/roll! It's also made of 100% recycled paper.

I normally stock up at $3.50 for a 12 pack so getting 16 rolls for only $2.20 is a great price!

(Walmart doesn't carry Marcal so my friend Margaret was nice enough to pick up this from Food Town since there is one by her house!)

Walmart Trip - 9/18/11 - Saved $121.36 or 46% on regular grocery bill!

Every 2 weeks I do my regular grocery shopping at Walmart. I don't share those trips because I buy so many items and breaking down the cost, price matches, coupons and taking pictures of it all would just take too much time. People only see the CVS & Walgreens trips and think that I'm not actually saving money on everyday grocery shopping when in fact I am!

This trip I purchased 125 items.
Retail cost of items at Walmart: $264.29
Cost of items after price matching: $217.83
Total after coupons = $142.93
Savings of 46%. On a regular grocery bill this is GREAT!

Since I purchased 125 items I can't list everything. I snapped a couple of photos while putting everything away.

Maybe as I become more organized I can share Walmart trips. For now they are just too large to breakdown!

Rare Kroger Trip - Gerber Graduates & Ozarka Water - $8.10

I don't like Kroger. But we use this Ozarka water to mix baby formula. And it's never too early to start stocking up on expensive baby foods. So there you have it - apparently these deals were good enough to get me in the door! Normally I would just price match at Walmart but I knew with this deal a $4.00 OYNO (on your next order) Catalina coupon would print at the register for purchasing the Gerber items. So in I went. And I may even go back.

Transaction 1
7 Gerber Graduates Lil'Entrees @ $1.98 each
3 Gerber Lil'Crunchies Snacks @ $1.78 each
Total = $19.20

Coupons/Discounts used:
- $5.00 Mega Event Savings
- $1.00 Gerber Lil'Entrees MQ x 7
- $1.00 Gerber Snacks MQ

Total = $6.10. Earned $4.00 OYNO Catalina.

Transaction 2
10 Ozarka 3 liter water @ $1.09 each
Total = $10.90

Coupons/Discounts used:
- $5.00 Mega Event Savings
- $4.00 OYNO Catalina (T1)

Total = $1.90

Paid $8.10 for $30.10 worth of items. 73% savings. Not the best but I'm so happy with the Gerber purchases! Considering the $4 OYNO coupon they come out to around $.21 each!
